Heavy misfortunes have befallen us, but let us only cling closer to what remains, and transfer our love for those whom we have lost to those who yet live. Our circle will be small, but bound close by the ties of affection and mutual misfortune. And when time shall have softened your despair, new and dear objects of care will be born to replace those of whom we have been so cruelly deprived. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
About This Quote

The most important thing in life is to make the most of what we have. This quote by Lord Byron can be applied to anyone who has experienced loss. When you are down, it is easy to feel that the world has failed you. It is easy to give up on everything and believe that life has no meaning. It’s hard to tell yourself that there is still good in the world or that there are reasons to live through all of this heartbreak.
